A curious phenomenon is occurring each Wednesday. The BBC is receiving a lot of love. Well, to be specific, David Attenborough’s current series is.

This Is England ’86

I posted last night after the last episode went out that I thought this was one of the best things I had ever seen on TV, then I took it down because I thought I was being a bit previous.

But I slept on it now, and yes, it definitely is.

Wherever you live, wherever you are, try to see this series, it’s harrowing in places, but you won’t regret it.
